In popular culture
The area is used for the filming of the British reality series, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and has been since 2003 except for 2020 and 2021. Versions of the show for other countries are also produced in the area.[2] The 2020 edition of the UK was not produced in Dungay given COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting level 4 travel ban for Australia. Conversely, the 2021 and 2022 editions of the Australian version of the series were produced in Dungay - as travel restrictions prevented the production travelling to the normal South African location.
